RPG Editor Showdown

So you've been using SEU for years but have been dreaming of seeing more than 19 lines of code at a time. In your dream you reached for RDi but realized you only had $30 because you spent the rest on Super Bowl tickets. This must be what the middle seat on the airplane feels like.

Next you see a man coming towards you with an asymmetrical receding hairline. It's Aaron Bartell and he's wearing skinny jeans. He stands on a box of soap and proclaims "I can edit RPG with many different editors". His boldness convinces you to pay your user group dues and attend the meeting to learn more.
